At 9:45 a.m. on September 2, the last plane returning from the first wave of raids on Port Scapafolo came to a solid stop on the deck of the "Lisa". Prince Heydrich was listening to the reports of Major Madonny and Maur, and he was very pleased with the great results and zero casualties of the first raid, while the aircrew on deck were nervously refueling and reloading the warhawks.

"Very good! You have achieved great honor for the Imperial Navy, and I will ask His Majesty the Emperor to personally award you a medal, so go down and rest first! At 11 o'clock you will take off again to launch a third wave of raids, and I have to warn you that this time the British resistance will be much stronger, and your battle will be more difficult! ”

"Yes! Thank you, Your Royal Highness! "Major Madonny and Maul turned and departed, and all the pilots were to seize the hour or so to eat and rest.

"British, see how long you can last!" Heydrich spat out this sentence contemptuously, as long as the main force of the British fleet did not leave the harbor for a moment to pursue, his planes would continue to surprise and let the British navy shed its last drop of blood.

"Your Royal Highness, reconnaissance aircraft No. 3 reported that a British cruiser was spotted 30 nautical miles northwest of the fleet, and it is estimated that it is the remaining warship of the British fleet that the second wave of raiders encountered and attacked!" The adjutant walked out of the telegraph room with a report.

"Don't worry, let the submarine clean it up!" Heydrich glanced at the report, the fleet had been in radio silence, and only planes far away from the fleet could use the transmitter to send reports back to the mothership, and he was now only using the flag to contact the ships around him. If the British had not kept any closer, they might have been lucky enough to escape.

The British battleship that was discovered by the No. 3 reconnaissance plane was none other than the cruiser "Goddess of Dawn", which was riddled with bullet holes.

Corporal Niini leaned against his secondary gun and closed his eyes in thought, the battle had already reimbursed his three younger brothers, the entire battleship had lost a total of 36 men, and 49 were wounded, and most of them were soldiers on the deck, and the battleship had lost almost half of its combat effectiveness.

By this time they had learned about the situation in their home port of Scapaflo, where the losses suffered were much greater than they could have imagined, and the warships of 1/4 of the number and 1/5 of the tonnage of the main fleet had temporarily or permanently lost their combat effectiveness. The fleet commander sent a telegram to the "Goddess of Dawn", asking it to move in the direction in which the German planes were flying and to try to find out where they had taken off.

Although the captain assured everyone that they would apply for a medal after the battle, Nini, like most sailors, didn't want any medals at all, he just wanted to go home as soon as possible and end this terrible war as soon as possible. The British Navy, which he was proud of in the battle just now, was beaten to the point that he had no power to fight back, and if it weren't for the fact that the hull of the "Goddess of Dawn" was smaller than the previously sunken "Parrot" and "Oxford", and if he hadn't dodged the torpedo and bomb in time, he and the ship would have been lying quietly on the bottom of the sea at a depth of several hundred meters.

"Forgive our sinful souls, O God!" Nini knelt on the deck and prayed.

God really favored Ninei and the British warship.

At a distance of 8 nautical miles from them, Dönitz's submarine U-039 had just surfaced for ventilation. Half an hour ago, there was a slight glitch in their transmitter, which also caused them to miss the report from reconnaissance plane No. 3.

In terms of surface sight distance, the submarine's low tower is simply not comparable to the watchtower with the mast of a warship, so when the "Goddess of Aurora" spotted U-039, the crew of the submarine was breathing the fresh air on the surface.

The captain of the "Goddess of Dawn" gave the order to move at full speed towards the German submarine, and all the guns of the ship were ready to fire.

Nini and his only little brother stood pitifully on his gun position, although this time it was not a German plane, but Nini knew very well that German submarines were not easy to mess with. As long as they get into the water, their own cruisers will be helpless against them.

Eventually, the crew of the U-039 spotted the smoke coming out of the chimney of the Aurora, and the submarine immediately sounded a whining dive alarm and began to dive rapidly, and when the last crew member got into the submarine and closed the hatch, the 4.5-inch cannon on the foredeck of the Aurora had just opened fire, and when the shells landed on the sea near the submarine, the U-039 was completely submerged.

"Full speed ahead! The whole ship pays close attention to the sea surface and pays attention to avoiding torpedoes! The captain of the "Goddess of Aurora" decided to rush through the range of the submarine, and his intuition told him that there must be something not far behind the submarine.

Dönitz's U-039 watched as the Goddess of Dawn sped away from a short distance above their heads, and a minute later they fired a torpedo from the stern torpedo tube.

"Torpedo! There are torpedoes in the back! The sailors on board the British battleship shouted loudly, and the "Goddess of Dawn", which was sailing at a maximum speed of 26 knots, easily avoided the torpedo and headed off to the southeast. Seeing the torpedo once again grazing not far from the ship's side, Nini couldn't help but thank God Almighty.

At 10:03 a.m. on September 2, U-033, 4 nautical miles behind U-039, also spotted the "uninvited guest", which fired two torpedoes 600 yards from the "Goddess of Dawn", but was successfully evaded by the highly focused British battleship, which was then reported to the flagship using a transmitter.

At 10:09, 5 "Swordfish" and 4 "Sea Hawk II" took off urgently from the "Lisa". At this time, the "Goddess of Aurora" was also spotted by two destroyers cruising 5 nautical miles around the aircraft carrier.

At 10:10 a.m., the "Goddess of Dawn" sent a telegram back to the command of the British Grand Fleet: a German Navy destroyer had been spotted 90 nautical miles southeast of Scapaflo, and several German planes had taken off from a strange German steamer in the distance.

At 10:14, Navy Corporal Nini and 343 British Navy officers and men watched as seven torpedoes crossed and galloped towards the "Goddess of Dawn", and with the joint efforts of German torpedo planes and destroyers, this stubborn British Navy cruiser finally completed its mission and slowly sank into the sea.

At 10:18, the German Navy destroyer "" sailed past and abandoned 4 rubber rafts, and 76 British sailors, including Nini, survived, and they were rescued by a passing British cruiser six hours later.

At 10:30 a.m., two "Ostrich I" bombers circling over Scapaflo sent back a report that due to the blockage of most of the shipping lanes, British warships were leaving the port slowly, and that 10 dreadnoughts, 3 armored cruisers, 4 light cruisers, and 7 destroyers had already left Scapafolo Harbor through the main channel, and the other 10 Dreadnought-class battleships, 3 armored cruisers, 5 light cruisers, and 37 destroyers that were still able to sail were passing through the main channel in turn, and it was expected that it would take three hours to leave the port.

In fact, the two "Ostrich I" involved in the second wave of air raids were not loaded with bombs, and the bomb bays were converted into additional fuel tanks in order to remain stranded over Scapaflo Harbor after the air raids were over Scapaflo Harbor to observe the movements of British warships, and both "Ostrich I" were equipped with transmitters to ensure that the most important information could be fed back to the Heydrich fleet.

At 10:45 a.m., all the pilots who had taken part in the third wave of air raids were informed that even if they collided with the ship, they would have to block the channel of Scalpaflo Harbor in order to cut off the British fleet.

At 11 o'clock, under the watchful eyes of Heydrich and the crowd, the third wave of 66 planes began to take off from the "Lisa" and "Super Duck Mother". Two "Ostrich I", which participated in the first wave of air strikes, broke down and did not take part in the air strikes.

At 11:30 a.m., the third wave of 66 aircraft, including 20 Seahawk II fighter-bombers, 22 Ostrich I bombers and 24 Swordfish torpedo planes, took off and flew to Port Scapaflo in formation.

At 12:47, a third wave of airstrike aircraft arrived over the port of Scapafolo. At this time, 18 dreadnought-class battleships, 4 armored cruisers, 4 light cruisers, and 10 destroyers of the British Grand Fleet had already left the harbor, and the rest of the warships were slowly moving out of the channel. The commander of the British Grand Fleet, Jerlet, stood on his new flagship, the battleship George V, commanded the fleet outside the harbor to begin to assemble, and after receiving the report from the light cruiser "Goddess of Dawn", although he did not know why the German steamers could take off and land so many aircraft, he held his breath to fight for the lost honor of the British Imperial Navy.

At 12:49, Major Madoni once again raised his right arm high and made two circles in the air: attack as planned!

Whether it is fighter-bombers, bombers or torpedo planes, the primary target of all the aircraft involved in the air attack is the British battleship that is driving in the channel, and the 20 "Seahawk II" fighter-bombers at the front line are flying along the main channel in a row, at this time the unlucky old armored cruiser "Warrior" actually happened to pass next to the armored cruiser "Defense" sunk in the first air raid, and the "Seahawk II" flying above the head of the "Warrior" dropped bombs one after another, and all 20 bombs were thrown at it within one minute. As a result, after a direct hit of 7 100KG aerial bombs, the superstructure of the "Warrior" has collapsed, all the main guns have been twisted into useless scrap metal, the entire warship is slowly sinking in the burning, and this main channel, which is about 30 meters wide, has been almost completely blocked, and only small tugboats can barely pass.

On another secondary channel, about 20 meters wide, several destroyers were slowly passing by, most of which had been blocked by the battlecruisers "Invincible" and "Southampton", which had sunk in the second wave of attack, and now could only barely pass through the light cruisers and destroyers. At this time, the British light cruiser "Reading" with a displacement of 6,500 tons and the destroyer "Taunton" with a displacement of 3,500 tons were slowly passing through that channel. However, after the first two air raids, the British had discovered that the machine guns on the destroyers and some light cruisers could pose a threat to low-flying and bomb-dropping aircraft, so the fully mobilized destroyers and light cruisers became the only anti-aircraft weapons of the British Navy.

At 12:53, the No. 011 and No. 012 "Swordfish" torpedo planes threw two torpedoes at the auxiliary channel at an ultra-low altitude, and just as they began to climb and turn, a long series of white light from the machine gun on the bridge of the destroyer "Taunton" hit the engine of No. 011, and the German naval pilot Petret was horrified to find that the engine of his "Swordfish" made several low "coughing" sounds, and then a puff of black smoke came out of the engine, and the propeller quickly stopped.

"Hell!" Petret slapped the plane's engine cover hard, but the hot hatch was so hot that he screamed and withdrew his hand.

"Ram! My plane is not working! Come here and cover me, I'm going to find a place to land! He shouted as he diligently operated his 011 and began gliding, and on the other side of the channel there was a pier hundreds of meters long, which was empty.

"Ram, I'm going over! Come down and pick me up in a moment! Petret saw Ram, the driver of 012, wave his hand vigorously at him, and then concentrate on letting his 011 descend towards the dock.

Soon, the Torpedo 011 began to jump on the uneven dock, and due to the loss of power, the 011 was very unstable, and suddenly slid sideways over the left wing of the fuselage and slid on the ground, sawdust splashed out of the wing and fuselage, and Patret closed his eyes and retracted tightly into the cabin.

Finally, the plane stopped, and Petret opened his eyes and looked out, not looking, not knowing, startling to see - a dozen British soldiers were cats, about 2 meters wide, between two houses more than 20 meters from the pier. After staring at each other for a few seconds, the British burst out as they fired. Fortunately, the nose of the No. 011 plane was facing the British, and the engine blocked the bullets fired by the British for Petret, he quickly pulled out the Luger pistol on his body and shot at the British continuously, two British soldiers fell to the ground on the spot, and the other Britons immediately lay down out of natural reaction, they fell to the ground and continued to shoot at Petret, the bullet pressed him so much that he did not dare to raise his head from the cabin, and the machine gun in the nose was fixed in the direction, and Petret could not use it to shoot back. Several British soldiers began to bow towards the No. 011 plane, and at this critical moment, the No. 012 torpedo plane finally flew over the pier, it accurately fired a shuttle of bullets at the group of British soldiers from a height of 3 meters above the ground, and then it began to taxi more than ten meters in front of No. 011, and stopped nearly 100 meters away from Patrette after more than ten seconds.

"Petret! Hurry up! Ram shouted loudly from inside the cabin, drawing his pistol to cover him.

Pateret glanced up at the British soldiers in front of him, there were six corpses lying on the ground, four other British soldiers were dragging the other two wounded soldiers back, and two more were holding guns to cover the retreat of the wounded soldiers. He quickly fired the three remaining rounds in the magazine at the British soldier with his pistol, knocked down the two British soldiers who were covering with their guns, and then jumped out of the cabin and ran towards Ram as fast as he could.

Ten seconds later, Petret was almost 10 meters away from Ram's Torpedo Machine 012, when the British soldiers, who had already dragged the wounded soldier back, began to shoot at him with rifles. At the very moment of climbing into the plane, Mr. Petret was tragically shot in the thigh.

"Ram, quick!" He didn't care so much anymore, as long as it didn't fall into the hands of the British. Since the "Swordfish" only has one cabin, Petret can only stuff his feet into the cabin, and most of his body sits outside the cabin.

Ram's Torpedo 012 began to turn, taxi, and soon flew back into the sky.

"Ram, we can't leave the plane to the British and let the bombers blow it up!" Petreit's wish was good, but unfortunately while they were playing "Run Fast" with the British, the other planes had already dropped all the bombs, and in the end they still strafed No. 011 twice with machine guns before leaving helplessly.

But fortunately, after No. 011 was shot down by the destroyer "Taunton", the British destroyer was also hit by a torpedo dropped by No. 011, and the entire front half of the battleship was blown up like a grinning shark, and it was all sunk within half a minute, and another light cruiser "Reading" in the secondary channel was attacked by two torpedoes, and at this time it was already sitting quietly under the water, leaving only a little mast.

At 12:58, the third wave of air raid planes sent back a report that the task of blocking the Scapafolo channel had been completed!

Compared with the No. 011 "Swordfish" torpedo plane and the lucky Petret, the other 1 "Sea Eagle II" and its pilot Hank are much more unlucky, the 045 "Sea Eagle II" strafed a destroyer in the harbor was also counterattacked by the opponent's machine guns, Hank was shot in the head on the spot and died, No. 045 flew a waddling flight for a distance, and suddenly a heel fell into the harbor, and No. 045 became the second aircraft lost by the German Navy in the air raid, Hank also became the only pilot to die in the air raid, and after the battle, the Kaiser posthumously awarded him an Iron Cross of the First Class.

Outside the port of Scapafló, Admiral Jerlid was directing the fleet that had already left the harbor to disperse to avoid the attack of the aircraft. He was greatly surprised and panicked by the report of the blockage of the shipping lane, and there were still 2 dreadnoughts, 3 armored cruisers, 3 light cruisers, and 27 destroyers in the harbor in the next week, and if he did not destroy the German steamers taking off and landing as soon as possible, these precious assets of the British Navy would be devoured by the German air demons little by little.

At 1:10, the third and final wave of air raids on the British port of Scappaflo ended. In addition to the sinking of one armored cruiser, one light cruiser and two destroyers that came out to block the shipping lane, another armored cruiser in the harbor was damaged. After the channel was blocked, some torpedo planes also launched a small-scale attack on the fleet assembled outside the harbor, and they fired two torpedoes at the "George V", one of which was evaded by it, and the other was actually "sacrificed to block the bullet hole" by a British destroyer. In addition, 1 "Ostrich I" bomber dropped countless pieces of paper over the British fleet, which read, "British, your inability to keep Nelson's spirit in heaven at rest!" ”

At 1:15 a.m., George V, the flagship of the British Grand Fleet, gave the signal that the fleet would set sail at 40 degrees south-east, and that all ships should take care to avoid torpedo and bomb attacks from German aircraft. The British Imperial Navy is invincible! The British Imperial Navy will win!
